      You should almost always restore the full config. The config file version is only held in the main system section and that is what determines whether or not the config needs to be upgraded.

      Only ever restore parts of the config if you're certain it's the current version. Even then I would always restore the full file unless I have a very specific reason not to.

        @stephenw10 I see, how would I go about this then? Does restore still go through if packages are not installed

          Yes, just restore the full config file and it will pull in any required packages.
